. >> are you encouraged by john kerry's appointment as secretary of state? >> i think it's really interesting. it's kind of a no-brainer. many people expected him to be, he's been very close to president obama. he's traveled. he's got a war record, veteran of the vietnam war. and he's very involved in that. and it will be very interesting because he'll also know what the limits are in terms of congress and the whole american system when it comes to enacting foreign policy. >> are you encouraged, optimistic by where the arab spring may go this year or are you quite pessimistic? >> i've been optimistic from the beginning. there will always be bumps in the road. but for me, this monumental epochal history-making situation transformation in that part of the world is positive. and democracy is what has to happen in that part of the world. we're seeing the ugly side of the fallout in mali. but that can be dealt with if the west is willing to do it. you can't pussy-foot around these people. you have to be there for the long haul, whether it's politically difficult

i met this morning with senator kerry to give him an update on this trip. a number of the senators who were on the trip with me met with him, and i am determined that we make certain that the united states invests in the kind of forward leaning relationship in africa that will take the fight to al qaeda in africa and that will invest in stability in countries where if we don't partner with them effectively, they may slip into the kind of state that mali's in now. just a few short years ago, mali was viewed as a stable, democratic ally of the united states and it's come unwound fairly quickly. i chaired a hearing on december 5th to look at mali and to look at the situation there and try and raise its profile. i have gotten great cooperation from the state department and defense department but as you point out, this incident in algeria reminds us that it needs attention and investment at the highest levels of the american government. >> senator, thank you very much. we appreciate it. we will see if the president of the united states does indeed say anything a

how much do you think john kerry in the wake of this foreign policy discussion that, let's be honest, is not often had. we focus a lot on domestic affairs. there's not been a lot of pressure, i think, on the president to verbalize what he wants to do as far as america's role in the national stage. how much of this hearing is going to filter through to john kerry's hearing to sort of give us an outline? >> i think absolutely in kerry's hearing, again, this is going to be more aimed at president obama to try to get kerry on the record with some commitments about particularly iran and some of the other conflicts around the world. i think one of the reasons, and this has been talked about, that the president likes john kerry and his position and likes chuck hagel, if we're talking about iran, talking about algeria, talking about a fragile state in south africa, we have to be really careful how we engage, because it's easy to say, let's bomb iran, send troops. where are we going to get those troops and how can we afford to do that? not the least of which, how do we know that doesn't turn i

i have brothers who are alive today thanks to john kerry. because of john kerry. didn't play it safe when he testified against the war. he personally attacked by name the defense secretary along with the other democrats in the johnson administration who failed the country and the world so miserably. on april 22nd, 1971, at the age of 27, he assured his position in history. and that is war hero. the hero who saves lives by helping to end the war. >> each day to facilitate the process by which the united states washes her hands of vietnam someone has to give up his life so that the united states doesn't have to admit something that the world already knows. someone has to die so that president nixon won't be the first president to lose a war. and we are asking americans to think about that. how do you ask a man to be the last man to die in vietnam we are here to ask and ask where are the leaders of our country. where is the leadership? we are here to ask where are bundy, gilpatrick and others where are they now that we the men they sent off to war have returned. thes

john kerry will be testifying tomorrow for his confirmation hearing, actually, in front of the senate foreign relations committee, which should be interesting because he is the chairman of that committee. i would think the chairman should get pretty good reception by members of that committee. we will find out in the meantime. most of the conversations still revolving around the president's inaugural address, and i wanted to play one quick clip before we introduce our guest. this is maybe the line in the speech that got the most applause and one that people may long remember about the president's inaugural where he talked about expanding equal rights and equality to all americans, even this little girl. >> we are true to our creed when a little girl born into the bleakest poverty knows she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else because she is an american. she is free, and she is equal not just in the eyes of god, but also in our own. >> bill: it was wainone of the many references to god, to the crater, to god-given rights in the president's inaugural address. james saulk is th

her final appearance as secretary of state comes today, when she introduces john kerry. and that is after her testimony about the attack in benghazi that killed a u.s. ambassador and three other americans. abc's martha raddatz was there for all of the action. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, george. it was truly a riveting day on capitol hill. we don't say that very often, with secretary clinton. as some have never seen her before. she was at times, combative, charming, disarming and clearly ready for a fight. >> it is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, senator. >> reporter: but when clinton spoke of her four fallen colleagues, the pain, the memories were still raw. >> i stood next to president obama as the marines carried those flag-draped caskets off the planes at andrews. i put my arms around the mothers and fathers, the sisters and brothers. the sons and daughters. >> reporter: and clinton did not hesitate to shoulder the blame. >> as i have said many times, i take responsibility. >> r
